Barry came to a holt outside the address Iris had given him. Doing a quick scan of the area he waited.

"Barry, any sign of activity?" Came a familiar voice. 

Hearing the voice, a smile spread across his face. It felt like old times when Caitlin would speak to her over the ear piece. 

"No, outside is clear but inside some lights are on. I think I'm going to go inside and have a look," he responded. 

"No, wait for Joe," said Caitlin. 

"Yeah, we can't be too sure what kind of weapon they have created or what they have planned for you. They aren't going to let their factory go without any traps," added Cisco. 

Yup just like old times.

"How far is Joe and backup. We can't wait too long." 

"He is 1 minute away." 

"Fine, after that I'm going in with or without him," he said. 

                          //~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\\~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~//

"Hey, how's the stakeout going?" Asked Juilain as he came in and sat down next to Caitlin. 

"He is waiting but getting impatient with it." 

"Yeah I get it. They are so close and waiting doesn't help," said Juilain. He turned to see Caitlin focused on the screen. It showed the satellite image of the Research Building. "Caitlin are you sure you should be here right now. It's better if you sit this one out."

"No, Im part of this team and my job is to make sure that Barry goes into missions and comes out of it alive. I'm fine here." 

"There is someone approaching from the other building. It doesn't looked CCPD," observed Cisco. "Barry did you hear me?" 

"Yeah, I see it. It's a black SUV  and there isn't a number plate. I think it is one of them," said Barry. "I'm going in." 

Panic rose inside of Caitlin. Was this this anxiety that she felt now how she felt everything. Barry wanted to go into a building not knowing what was going to happen. Even though he has his speed, that didn't grantee that he would be safe. 

"Caitlin, do keep an eye on his brain activity. If he gets any exposure to the memeory loss stone we can record an abnormal activity," called Cisco. 

Nodding, she started connected her screen to his head gear. "Ok Barry I have the blueprints of the building here. I will guide you once you have entered," she said. 

Caitlin could see Iris on her other side. She was also anxious a little as she sat there quitely. 

"Don't go through the front entry as I see a camera there and the door is alarm based. Even if you supersped in, you will set the alarm off. Try the window on second floor. It is open," instructed Caitlin. 

She waited for him to confirm when he was in safely. "Ok, now you have two options. Cisco has managed to loop the camera in us so we can see in the building. There is a corridor to your left that will lead you to the main area where they are or you can go a level up and keep an eye on them from there," said Caitlin. 

"I'm going in. This ends now," he said. 

                //~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\\~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~//

Barry looked around the room and followed Caitlin's instructions down the corridor and into the main area. He supersped and stopped behind a shelf. From here he had a clear view of Jules and John. They were talking to someone but he couldn't hear who it was. But then something  moved and shifting from where he was he saw that someone was sitting on a chair and there was a stand from which blood bags was hanging. 

What was this place. Was that the metahuman from whom they were taking the blood from to use on the stone. 

"We have to deal with this Flash if we want to carry out our plans. He tends to always show up everytime we try and do something," said Jules. 

"You tried once to take away his memory and how did that go," said the person that he couldn't make out. 

"He's girlfriend got the blast. The timer didn't go off on time," complained John. 

"And why did pick that long for his memory to be gone. We haven't tested it for long periods of time. We don't know what effects it has." 

"We were going to take away his memeory for the past couple of days but then thought. The Flash appeared when the particle accelerator exploded. He would have gotten his abilities around the same time. Wouldn't it be better for us all if he didn't remember anything and didn't even remember being the Flash. By the time he figured anything out we would have gotten what we wanted." 

"Smart idea, just not well planned out. You would guys would have been known as the people who took down the Flash but... Anyways, we have to move fast. He will be here soon enough." 

Barry could hear the siren of the CCPD and he knew that it wouldn't be long before John and team would flee. Making a split decision he decided to show himself and try and distract them long enough for Joe and team to come in and arrest them. 

"Jules and John, time to give yourself up. We know what you have been up to and it's time for you all to play for your crimes," said Flash. 

Everyone stoped, shocked to find him there. Before Barry could do anything there was a loud bang behind him and for split second his eyes moved and when he turned back to them, a mist fell on his face making him sneeze. Temporary he was blinded by this and when he tried to open his eyes, some one pierced him in the stomach. Pain shot through him and he fell to him knees.  Someone was twisting the object indside him, stopping him from healing it. Then something else was stabbed in his legs and someone snapped his shoulders and arm.

 Pain from everywhere made it impossible for him to even concentrate. He screamed and he could hear Caitlin on the other side calling his name. Then blankness spread and all he could think about was letting this blankness take over so the pain would stop. He concentrated on Caitlin's voice and let the blackness take over.

"BARRY... BARRY... HOLD ON...."
